The Wizards traded away 29 ppg but you wouldn't know it by the way they are playing.

Our bigs are the worst in the leauge at sealing off. They always let the defender come around and knock the pass away or steal it. Dray is the worst. Its being lazy and not expecting the D to hustle

Wall's jumper is very encouraging =)

Over some pretty good defense too. Kirk is smothering Wall on that jumper.

Wall's jumper is getting better and better. Those careless turnovers are really frustrating though

Is it just me being a homer, or are the hawks getting away with a ton of arm slaps and reach-ins?

i noticed wall doesn't rlease the ball at the highest point on his J like he should. he doesn't release until he's on his way back down.

Wall this game is looking like Steve Francis at Maryland. Francis was always good but it seemed like we he was doing so much on the court. It was actually when he slowed down and let the game come to him that he became dominant and would actually put up better numbers while seemingly not even expending himself.

Wall has let this game come to him and has 10-7-5. He's just on a new level right now and again, the sad part is that alot of people dont even know. I heard Sam Mitchell last night saying how Wall has to be more consistent. They just dont know how he's been the last 30 games. He's been as good as any PG in the league

I just heard Phil mention Wizards and team defense in the same breath. Mark it on your calendar.

30 games may be stretching it. We have been making him make strides and and there in different areas in different games. It is more recently that it is all coming together. Its his jumper and change of pace. He is way more confident in the J and he is changing speed more often.

It's funny watching the Hawks broadcast, they can't seem to keep the Wiz players straight. They just called Booker's name on a made jumper, when clearly that couldn't be the case.

Nah, its been about 30 games. The J may hasnt been there but he's been good for about that long. I know because Ive posted stats and even Nate said something on the general board about 25 games and that was around 5 games or more ago

This is some ugly basketball from both teams. How on earth are Atlanta a playoff team?
